All Chapters of I'm in love with my Billionaire Ex-wife : Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

Chapter 51Ximena's POVWhen Charles and I came out of the airport, I felt a mix of feelings inside of me. The fact that he was alive overwhelmed me but at the same time I felt the confusion and the guilt raging inside me.Miguel walked out with us to the car park and I could feel the tension building up. Sometimes, I felt that it was just me and often wondered if the rest of the world shared the same feeling.Charles held my hand for a moment before walking up to his car. “Let me drive you home Ximena,” he said softly. “It has been a long day for you.”I simply nodded, not able to fight for the words that I wanted to say anymore. I looked at Miguel who was standing near his car, hands in his pockets. I looked into his eyes and could still see the worry lines on his face.“Thank you, Miguel,” I whispered. “For everything. ”He only managed to look at me and give a small nod in response. “If you need anything, don’t hesitate to call. ”I stared at him for a moment longer, and felt so

Chapter 53Ximena was standing in front of the window in her office, her gaze fixed on the moving cars and people far below, in the City. The gravity of the decision she was about to make bore so much weight on her young shoulders. Taking a big sigh, she swung around to grab her phone and typed two texts to Miguel and Charles informing them to get to her office right away. While waiting, she tried to recall all she had seen during the past few weeks. It was the emotional ride, the near loss of Charles, the rising animosity between her and Miguel – all of it was a storm in her head. She understood that something had to be done, for the sake of her own sanity as well as for the future of business of both companies. A knock at the door brought her back to reality. “Come in,” she said a bit more confidently and adjusted her sitting position and her skirt. Miguel came in first, looking at her face with curiosity and concern in his dark eyes. Charles was not too far behind him, he too l

Chapter 55Simmering TensionsThe morning sunlight fell on the windows of Miguel’s office and stretched on the table. He sat in front of his laptop, looking at the numbers on the financial reports with worries on his face.What had happened yesterday – the market crisis, Ximena’s decision, Charles’ leaving – all remained in his mind, as if his brain was an insidious flame that refused to go out. His eyes opened wide when he heard a sharp knock on the door. “Come in,” he said, sitting up from the chair. Tania entered with such a look of concern on her face. “Miguel, darling, I’ve been so worried, you know I came here yesterday, but they told me that you've already left.” Miguel swallowed hard and only nodded, not allowing any emotions to show on his face. “Yes, it was a long day. But we had some... issues which were not planned for.” Tania sat on the edge of the desk staring at him intently. “And how are you doing? You look so tired. ” “I am alright,” Miguel said. He got up, stepp

Chapter 57Ximena felt her heart racing as Tania approached her and the look in her eyes a combination of anger and desperation. Miguel moved swiftly between them and speaking with both women in a calming manner, raised his hands in a gesture of surrender. “Tania, what is happening?” He said softly but there was tension in the room. Tania’s eyes became small as she looked at Ximena with a lot of anger on her face.Ximena looked at Miguel, then turned to Tania; her throat felt dry and she was thinking fast. “Tania, if you have something you want to tell us you should do it now. ” Ximena’s voice was calm, but inside she could feel her heart beating fast. Tania laughed in bitterness. “Come clean? Oh, honey, you don’t have to worry about me doing any confessing around here.” She then turned to face Miguel, her face now a picture of pure virtue. “Miguel, my love, please trust me, Ximena is out to get us, she’s out to destroy us and all that we have built here.” Miguel’s eyebrows dre

Chapter 59Internal AffairsXimena hit the desk with her pen, deep in thought. The tension was evident in the office as the employees went on with their businesses despite the rumors that had been circulating in the company. She looked at Miguel who sat with his eyes fixed on a pile of paperwork in front of him, personnel files. '‘We need to be careful about this,'’ Ximena said. "This time, we should take care of this ourselves and not involve the police or external investigators to avoid further leaks to the press. We cannot afford that."Miguel just nodded, rubbing his face with the palms of his hands. “Yes. This means that we will have to deal with it internally. It is not safe but it is the only way that we can try to contain the issue.” Last few days were dedicated to planning and thinking about how to expose the bad eggs within the company while keeping their findings away from the press. It was a very sensitive process, a process that demanded much secrecy and planning. “F
